Groceries. It's a long, boring story why I needed to shop for groceries yesterday morning, but that's what I did. At Walmart.
The place was a bit busier than on a typical weekday night, but nothing like I was thinking it would be. I was surprised, but pleasantly so. I guess a shitty economy, weeks of black friday sales, upcoming cyber monday, lack of decent discounts, and the shift to online shopping have reduced the crowding in stores on that one specific day.
Last night I looked around a bit online just out of curiosity. The sales and discounts were pitiful.
The only stuff that caught my attention were gaming related items, but nothing was compelling enough to actually purchase. The games are still on sale for a few more games, so plenty of time to change my mind. And for the controller, I figure I'll wait and see what the pricing is on the new Steam controller. There was a part of me that considered buying the PS5 controller now while it's on sale and returning it if/when the Steam controller comes out if I like that better. But then the color I wanted most was more expensive than the rest, so I said fuck it.
